Treatment Information

Palliatice Care or Palliation

Palliative care (also known as supportive care) strives to improve the quality of life of people with serious illnesses, including cancer. It is treatment that is intended to relieve symptoms but not cure disease.

All patients diagnosed with cancer benefit from palliative care. Even if you do not currently have symptoms, you may benefit from additional support and other services for you and your caregivers. Learn more radiation therapy for palliative care.

Find a Radiation Oncologist

A team of highly trained medical professionals will be involved in your care during radiation therapy. This team is led by a radiation oncologist, a doctor who specializes in using radiation to treat cancer. Learn more about the rest of your treatment team.

Be An Advocate

If you have been affected by cancer, it's important to talk to your elected representatives about your experiences.
